Product Description
Sgt. Don Malarkey takes us not only into the battles fought from Normandy to Germany, but into the heart and mind of a soldier who beat the odds to become an elite paratrooper, and lost his best friend during the nightmarish engagement at Bastogne. Drafted in 1942, Malarkey arrived at Taccoa Camp in Georgia and was the 1 in 6 soldiers who earned their Eagle wings and went to England in 1943 to provide ground cover for the largest amphibious military attack in history: Operation Overlord. In the darkness of D-Day morning, Malarkey parachuted into France and, within days, was awarded a Bronze Star for his heroism in battle. He fought for 23 days in Normandy, nearly 80 in Holland, 39 in Bastogne; and nearly 30 more in and near Haguenau, France and the Ruhr pocket in Germany. This is his dramatic tale of those bloody days fighting his way from the shores of France to the heartland of Germany, and the epic story of how an adventurous kid from Oregon became a leader of men.

 another easy company must read October 7, 2008
A good easy read and another great perspective of the efforts of the soldiers of the 101st. Not written as boldly as some other easy company author's work but a good read`all the same. When comparing you do however pick up on how the wars affect was different for the individual soldiers of easy co.
Easy Company Soldier: The Legendary Battles of a Sergeant from World War II's Band of Brothers September 21, 2008
Excellent story and book. Sgt. Malarkey played a major role in the Band of Brothers which I have watched at least 10 times. My Uncle fought in the Battle of the Bulge yet seldom mentioned what he went through...except he had frost bite up past his ankles. He never mentioned his medals: Two Bronze Stars, Good Conduct Medal and the Victory Ribbons. We learned of these from the VA upon his death at the age of 95.
Thank you Sgt. Malarkey for writing this book.
 Typical member of the "Band of Brothers" September 19, 2008
This book gives a pretty good look at the a typical member of the Band of Brothers...from his growing up, to some of his thoughts during the way, to how he dealt with the aftermath. I was five years and one month old when the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor and all of my male cousins were involved in different branches of the service. I guess that is what got me interested in the war and people who took part in it. I just wish we had people as dedicated today...from my cousins to the "Band of Brothers." Our country would be a lot better off.
If you like E Company... September 10, 2008
Great book from Malarkey. He has a open, honest writing style that gives you a very realistic look at the life of an Easy Company Soldier. You will not get fluff here. I have all of the men's books. I like Don's the best! His life back home after the war was very interesting too. If you follow Easy - read this book, you will be surprised by much of his remarks. I sent him my book, and he was kind enough to sign it for me.
In-Depth and Thought Provoking August 14, 2008
This is my favorite book from any of the recent releases by Easy Company veterans. The writing style is smooth and the emotions are clear. This is the kind of memoir a person should be proud of and the personal narratives bring out a surprisingly sensitive side to the paratrooper sergeant that is the subject of this book. Highly recommended for anyone!
